As the commander of a German armored battalion during the harrowing summer of 1944, players face the overwhelming force of the Allied advance following the D-Day landings. Your task during the campaign: organize defenses, launch counterattacks, and navigate the chaos of Normandy’s war-torn countryside in a game that blends historical authenticity with tactical depth.

Set against the backdrop of real-world operations, Call To Arms: Panzer Elite offers more than spectacle – it delivers a battlefield simulation where every engagement is shaped by the player’s decisions. Command up to five tanks in real time, switch seamlessly between vehicles to respond to shifting threats, and coordinate efforts with AI companions or fellow players in cooperative mode.

Built in Unreal Engine 5, the game features destructible environments that are not only visually striking, but tactically significant. Collapsing buildings, craters, and battlefield debris shape the flow of combat and demand constant adaptation.

True to its name, Call To Arms: Panzer Elite brings an uncompromising level of detail to armor physics, ballistics, and battlefield damage. Designed for players who value historical accuracy, tactical complexity, and the raw intensity of mechanized warfare, this is a no-compromise experience: There are no microtransactions, no shortcuts - just an honest, immersive journey through one of history’s most dramatic military campaigns.

With full support for single-player, co-op, and PvP gameplay, and a strong focus on meaningful progression, Call To Arms: Panzer Elite sets out to redefine tactical gaming in a World War II setting.

Skirmish mode, a fan-favorite feature from our previous title Call to Arms: Gates of Hell, returns with expanded possibilities. Fight on either side of the historical conflict and command powerful weapons like the iconic Tiger tank or the StuH 42. Battle for control of key strategic landmarks and lead your forces to victory.

Call To Arms: Panzer Elite is targeting an Early Access release this summer and will remain so for about 9 months.

“The Early Access version delivers a solid foundation for future development, with a strong focus on core mechanics like driving, shooting, and damage systems to ensure a smooth and immersive experience. Our main efforts so far have gone into the single-player and co-op campaign, built to provide engaging and dynamic gameplay.

In addition, a skirmish mode is available, allowing players to battle AI opponents or team up with their Steam friends across multiple maps. Players can take command of a wide range of iconic tanks and armored vehicles from the era, representing both the US and Germany.”

“We have a clear vision for the final game, but development is an ongoing journey. Community feedback and the natural evolution of the project may lead to unexpected improvements. Instead of locking everything in too early, we’ll stay flexible and continue refining the game as we expand its content and polish the experience based on community feedback.

To give players a meaningful and replayable experience right from the start, we’re launching Early Access with a solid set of missions and maps.

At the start of Early Access, the game will include 3 campaign missions playable in co-op, along with 2 additional non-story missions and 3 skirmish maps.

The full version is planned to offer 9 campaign missions in total, 3 non-story missions, and 9 skirmish maps.

We also plan to release content updates throughout Early Access as we move closer to the final release.”
